The Cartographers' League

The Cartographers' League is a newly founded guild, born in the shadow of the Pathfinders and shaped by the need for a world that is healing yet is uncertain and fragmented. It consciously models itself as the spiritual successor to those famed explorers, seeking to reclaim their legacy of discovery, stewardship, and shared knowledge.

The League has been created to explore the world anew, to map its nooks and crannies, to rediscover forgotten roads, chart unstable regions, and secure safe passages for travelers, merchants, pilgrims, and refugees alike.

While the League’s stated purpose is altruistic, its founders are not blind to the realities of exploration. Lost places often guard relics, coin, and arcane remnants, and treasure hunting is considered an acceptable, if carefully regulated, extension of their work. Members are bound by strict codes: proper respect must be paid to any peoples, spirits, or cultures already tied to a site, and nothing may be taken from those who hold lawful or ancestral claim to it.

To join the Cartographers' League is to take part in something still being written, so that what is found does not vanish into legend once more.
